100% Correct. My biggest problem with the Triumph. I have even had some unscrupulous (or ignorant) salesmen claim the weathershield is stainless steel.

Triumph loads that my gun likes:
Accuracy load:
250gr Bonded Shock Wave with a Short Black[listed as 300gr and less] Harvester 120 gr Blackhorn 209 This load has shot some groups that were .75 and under when every thing including the shooter was just right.
Hunting loads:
The 250 gr Gold Dot with the long black Harvester[300gr +] sabot and 110 gr BH209
I have take deer and boar for the past 3 years with this load.
Developing a load of 110 gr BH209 and the 250gr Lehigh shoots good waiting for a chance to try it on game.
